The past week has seen the highest number of new #COVID19 cases reported globally since the start of the pandemic, amounting to over 2M new cases in the past 7 days.
As of 25 October, over 42M cases and 1.1M deaths have been reported, with over 2.8M new cases and nearly 40,000 new deaths reported over the past week.
For the second consecutive week, #Europe accounts for the greatest proportion of new cases, with over 1.3M new cases this past week โ a 33% increase compared to the previous week โ contributing nearly half of all new cases worldwide this week (46%).
At @UNGeneva, @WHO today briefed on the situation in #Yemen, where 18M people need healthcare, and only half of all health facilities are still functioning.
@UNGeneva For years, #Yemen has suffered from conflict and, increasingly, disease: the worst cholera outbreak in modern times, diphtheria, dengue, measles, malaria, the re-emergence of #polio, and now #COVID19. For people with chronic conditions, treatment is limited.
@UNGeneva Since the first #COVID19 case in April, 2000+ cases and 600+ deaths have been reported in #Yemen. The actual case count could be higher, since testing and reporting remain limited.
25 years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action aimed at #GenderEquality much of the agenda remains unfinished.
